The Florida Department of Transportation said it will begin resurfacing the stretch of US 90 in Nassau County between the Duval and Baker county lines on Monday, Feb. 6.

Here's what the department said in its announcement:

"Lane closures with flaggers directing traffic will be necessary after 8: 30 a.m. Monday through Friday.

"This project includes removing the top layer of pavement and replacing it with new asphalt on the travel lanes. The existing 3-foot paved shoulder will also be extended to five feet, which will match the recently completed US 90 resurfacing in Baker County.

"Two curves in the two-mile long project will also be adjusted by placing additional asphalt in those areas. This work will be done after the top layer is removed and before the final layer of new asphalt is placed and may look patched until the final layer is placed.

"Two sections of existing guardrail will be replaced and a temporary concrete barrier wall will be placed to provide safety for both motorists and workers while this is being done. The first section of guardrail is on the west side of the project near the Baker County line and the second section is about 1.5 miles east. During this phase in work, traffic will be slightly shifted.

"Hubbard Construction Co. of Jacksonville has been hired by FDOT to complete the work for $911,000. The work is expected to take approximately three months to complete, barring any unforeseen conditions such as bad weather.

"This section of US 90 was last resurfaced in 1998. About 4,400 vehicles travel this road each day."
